Abstract
This paper attempts to describe the author’s experience of working in an XP company, namely Genesys Solutions® and its use of the XP principles. Before understanding how XP is being used in Genesys, the process and the people of the organization must be taken into account. The process used is a formalized XP approach and the people considered are students, since the company is entirely run by students, which is unique to Sheffield. The paper also highlights some of the problems and challenges faced by the practitioners at Genesys Solutions® and also some of the real world advantages of using the XP approach in an academic and industrial background.
